Annual Truck Rodeo

Hi everyone, Please don’t store your snow plows just yet. It’s not that we want more snow, but we have to get ready for the Annual NEOPWO Truck Roadeo, to be held in Moonbeam on Friday June 14th .

Here is the program for the day:

9:00-10:00 am               Registration, Instructions and Coffee

10:00- 12:00                   Roadeo Competitions

12:00- 12:45                   Barbecue lunch

12:45- 3:00                      Roadeo competitions

3:00 – 3:30                      Top Driver announced and Prizes

We would encourage all municipalities to participate as this is a great learning experience and you get to meet your fellow workers.

For those who want to send your drivers to a practice run in Moonbeam, we will have the layout for the competition set up on June 11th . The practice runs will start at 9 am and completed by noon. The municipal garage is just off Hwy 11 and can be seen at the East end of the municipality.

Last year’s winner was Luc Boissoneault, from Moonbeam, who surprised many, as this was his first run at it.

Registration is Free. All you have to do is fill in the registration forms from our web site at www.neopwo.ca  and send it to me. Municipalities are allowed to send 2 drivers each.

Please send registrations in by no later than June 7th.

See you there
